Run Time: 191 min.
Next up in our A24orror series is a chaotic double feature of Bodies Bodies Bodies and Climax. Both are rollercoasters of excess and anxiety, where the boundaries between party fun and full-blown nightmare collide.
Bodies Bodies Bodies takes the classic whodunit and flips it on its head, serving up a hilarious look at a group of Gen-Z friends trapped in a remote mansion during a hurricane. As they play a game of “bodies, bodies, bodies,” a real body turns up, and madness ensues.
Climax, on the other hand, takes you to a wild dance party that spirals straight into madness. Gaspar Noé’s visceral direction puts you right in the middle of the action as the dancers, high on LSD, descend into an all-out frenzy of delirium, violence, and emotional collapse.
What links these two films together? The loss of control. Both are feverish, disorienting dives into the breakdown of social bonds, self-control, and the terrifying consequences of groupthink in high-stakes environments. Whether it’s a deadly game of trust or a drug-fueled descent into chaos, Bodies Bodies Bodies and Climax show how quickly things can escalate when the mask of civility slips and the true horror of human nature emerges.
